leastsignificant
Least significant is a term used in mathematics and computer science to describe the part of a number that contributes the smallest amount to its value. In positional numeral systems, the least significant digit is the rightmost digit; in binary, the least significant bit is the rightmost bit and has weight 2^0. Conversely, the most significant part has the largest weight. The concept applies to integers, fixed-point numbers, and digital data.
In computing, the distinction between least and most significant influences data representation and operations. Endianness refers
Applications include arithmetic, error detection, and data encoding. Bit tricks use the least significant bit to
